Essex reality TV star found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court
Stephen Bear was accused of sharing an intimate video of him and his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison
Reality TV star Stephen Bear, from Essex, has been found guilty of disclosing private sexual photographs and films over a sex video of him and ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison that was shared on the OnlyFans website.
The 32-year-old defendant and 27-year-old Ms Harrison were recorded having sex on CCTV cameras in Bear's garden in Loughton, Essex in August 2 2020, Chelmsford Crown Court heard.
Ms Harrison said she did not know that they were being filmed and told Bear not to share footage when he showed it to her, but she said that he went on to share it on WhatsApp and online.
Bear had denied all charges, but on Tuesday, a jury found him guilty by unanimous verdicts of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.
He was found guilty by a majority verdict of 10 jurors to two of voyeurism.
Ms Carey said that Bear uploaded the footage “either himself or had it uploaded to OnlyFans and profited financially”.
Bear, who has appeared on Ex On The Beach, said that he deleted the video on August 2, 2020, and did not send it to others.
Asked about footage being uploaded to his OnlyFans page, he said: “I don’t know of any video being uploaded.”
Bear denied voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.
